No Bake Jolly Bar Blog Hop

Welcome to the No Bake Jolly Bar Blog Hop hosted by Fat Quarter Shop! I was delighted when I was asked to participate - can you tell why? This pattern is so easy to make and perfect for Fat Quarter Shop's Jolly Bars. These precut rectangles are so easy to use - click here to see my first quilt made with them.

I chose the Daysail Jolly Bar by Bonnie and Camille for Moda. What a fun fabric line! The pattern takes 2 Jolly Bars (although there was enough left for a crib size quilt which I will show you soon). The white fabric is Bella Solids White #98 - super crisp white. I used Aurifil 50 wt for precise piecing.

This quilt is special for many reasons, but most of all because it was the first project I quilted using a long-arm machine! So scary after quilting everything with my Bernina. To get used to it I quilted meandering with hearts here and there. I plugged along and was done in 4 hours! My shoulders and wrists were very happy with the change in equipment!!!

After holding the quilt for me so I could photograph it my youngest son, Ryan, rolled it up and decided it was his advanced Christmas gift! Not so fast, boy!

Fat Quarter Shop's free pattern can be downloaded by clicking here. They also launched a video to help you with the piecing. If you want to jump right in, FQS has prepared kits for this quilt. Click on the links below to see them:

Wonderful quilt!! I would use it to make a quilt for my daughter. she's goint to sleep alone in her own bedroom for the first time. So it would be nice to make her something new :)Thanks for this chance to win

Beautiful! I love B&C fabric! I think that I would try my hand a a log cabin quilt, No Bake Jolly Bar quilt, or a quilt by Me & My Sister that is similar to this one called Pigtails and braids (I think). Thank you for the chance.

Love your Quilt! ( your son had super idea to roll it up & claim it!! giggle...) & the Houses one you made before is AWESOME!! You are so creative!!! My favorite Jolly bar is Prairie!! And think I would be making this new pattern! Really love it too! Thanks for chance to win your Give-away!! :)

I am new to Jolly Bars but, looking at the patterns on FQS website, I especially like the pattern you chose. I thk it would make a great Christmas quilt with Jingle or a nice snuggle qult with Prairie. Thanks for the oppportunity to win!!

I've been wanting to do the quilt that uses rectangles and has a gray or dark shadow of the rectangle so that it looks like the rectangle is floating. Can't think of the name of it right now, but it is cool looking. :)

What a lovely colourful quilts. Well done on your first longarmed quilt - it looks great. I'm new to it and it's such a revelation how easy it is on your body!! If I won the giveaway I would make a chevron quilt with the rectangles. Many thanks.

I agree with you, I too love this fabric line it is just so fresh and warm. The colors in the fabrics are crisp and bright. I am inspired by your long arm achievement. I would definitely sew the very same pattern you chose and made a delightful quilt for our church outreach program. Blessed holidays to you and yours.Sue

I haven't seen the Jolly Bars before so thanks for showcasing them in such a lovely quilt. I have lots of photos of lovely tile patterns that I would love to make into a quilt one day so would be delighted to try them out with a Jolly Bar :)

Hi Denise! If I had a jolly bar bundle, I'd plan to make the No Bake Pattern pictured from FQS. I love it and it would fit so many people on my list as I change out the fabrics and colors. duchick at gmail dot com

Well, of course I would make this No Bake Jolly Bar quilt if I won your drawing! It's so fast & easy....I'm going to look through my stash this weekend to get a head start. I bet I can even make one by Christmas! YAY--thanks for the nice drawing.

sounds like your son is just like my daughter, if she gets the quilt in her hands it ends up walking out the door to her house.. but then I did the same thing to my mom so it must just be something all quilters children do..at least we know our work is appreciated.. I think I would use the pre cuts in a cuddle quilt for my grand daughter.

Love your quilt - I'd make a Christmas quilt for my husband & I. I've been making several Christmas quilts (for gifts) from scraps acquired over 40+ years of quilting, but never made a Christmas quilt for us! Love the fabric line and that its an easy quilt to put together....
